By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…fides. Neither candidate answered the question about what they would do to stop the plausible genocide. Both held true to the establishment position because, if there’s an industry that’s running out of cash it’s defense contractors, right? And you may not agree with me. You might say: “what’s all this got to do with you, you don’t get a say!” But if you listened closely to Tuesday night’s clown-off you’d have noticed that more than half the debat…

In response to this reality, we’re following a practice started by the United Parish…

By Karen E. Park

…e as pregnancy and the “human sacrifice” of the native people who lived in Mexico before the arrival of Catholic Spaniards is cast as equivalent to the “human sacrifice” of abortion.

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

…(whether they be Democrats, Hillary supporters, NeverTrumpers, immigrants, non-whites, non-Christians, the list goes on). Moreover, like many before him, he equated Christianity with both America and whiteness. None of this is new. But what I want to point out in the wake of the utter inhumanity of the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents is that there is a direct line from tribal epistemology to dehumani…

…ist facing the bewildering array of current economic problems stick to the numbers or engage in psychological analysis? We could do worse than break down the current cast of characters based on that question and that approach. Greenspan was a number cruncher, Brooks observed, and unfortunately for him, human psychology caught up with him in the “housing bubble.” The current debate over Timothy Geithner is being conducted in similar terms.
